I phoned the care home this morning to ask for his assessment to be printed out for the doctor.
Spoke to one of the HCA3 who was just about to phone me as dad apparently wants to stay.
He was worried about the carers (I have changed his care package so he can go out with them and do his shopping once a fortnight) rather than me as he is very heavy in his wheelchair.
So I phoned and cancelled the care package for today and the taxi. I had to wait for the deputy to phone me back as I didn’t know if the room was free. After the deputy had found out it was from Head Office he is staying another week.
The deputy went to speak to him at my request as I’m always feeling I’m piggy in the middle. Apparently he broke down in tears as he had geared himself up for the taxi ride and the carers. He was asked if he wants to stay permanently.He has consented to stay another week but it has fluctuated from that to “I don’t care where I live”.
I told her that he does this all the time . He has had his Mirtazapine increased when at home to 30 mg.I told her that he threatened to shoot himself (no gun) but that is why it was increased.
I have asked her to see if he can be assessed as I have said all along that he has fluctuating capacity. She is going to leave it a few days and see how he goes... Meanwhile my nerves have gone and I feel for him .
